Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Georgian tallboy, or chest on chest, is an 18th-century piece of case furniture comprising two stacked chests of drawers, designed to maximise vertical storage space while maintaining balanced proportions.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense, fine-grained mahogany, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer linings in secondary woods such as pine or deal, and completed with cast brass swan-neck hardware.

Authentic Georgian tallboys exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, hand-carved decorative motifs such as dentil cornices or fretwork, original brass hardware with backing plates, and evidence of historic wood movement across structural joints.

Position the tallboy as a focal anchor in a bedroom, dressing room, or expansive hallway, balancing its visual height with contemporary lighting or framed artwork placed nearby.

Maintain the piece away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to preserve the timber patina.
